I'm torn between Zz, Toxicbug and brewnog! :confused: I will however, accept bribes :-p
 
I'm going with the bug. It just seems more "artsy." I like the contrast of the light from the computer monitor with the dark surrounding, and it seems peaceful.
 
Wow, I really like Toxicbug's picture. Very nice.
 
Still in love with the moon with Matthyaouw's photo.
 
For me, J77's shot is the most intense. What goes bump more than a nighttime riot?
 
ZZ's is visually stunning; looks like a postcard. Great work. And I like the historical impact of Brewski's. Still though, you can't argue with getting that perfect-timing shot that gets some news guy a Pulitzer once in a while. J77's looks like he was in the right place at the right time to capture something of cultural significance. Had to go with that one.
 
Matthyaouw's picture is just amazing. I wonder why nobody votes for that one, Go Matthyaouw!

Anyway, they all are great, If I could, I'd vote for all of'em at once.
 
Man this is tough to pic, but in the end I went with Brewnog

Voted for Mathyizzzzzziouaw's again, even though it's not York Minster!

And yay, I'm never a runner up to anything!

A reminder that you have 2 days left to vote, if you haven't done so already.

Although not the most technically perfect shot, brewnog gets my vote for the sheer beauty of his picture.
